Alanis Morissette takes the stage at the Pearl theater Friday.

Two huge concert events at Park Theater and two big basketball games at Mandalay Bay lead this weekend’s entertainment offerings. Get out of the heat for a few hours for some cool, relaxing fun.

POST MALONE The unlikely hip-hop star behind hits “Rockstar,” “Congratulations” and “White Iverson” rolls into Park Theater Friday night with support from 21 Savage and SOB x RBE. After the show, Post Malone will post up at Drai’s Nightclub at the Cromwell. June 22, info at parkmgm.com.

LAS VEGAS ACES The Aces have won three of their last five games on the strength of rookie A’Ja Wilson’s powerful play and are now lined up for four straight home games at Mandalay Bay Events Center. Catch them Friday night against the New York Liberty and Sunday hosting the Minnesota Lynx. June 22 and 24, info at aces.wnba.com.

ALANIS MORISSETTE More than 20 years after the release of her landmark album “Jagged Little Pill,” Morissette’s music and message continue to resonate with a broad audience. She recently collaborated with writer Diablo Cody and director Diane Paulus to create a stage musical based on the record. She’s sure to play many hits from that era when she performs at the Pearl at the Palms this weekend. June 22, info at palms.com.

TREVOR NOAH When he’s not skewering the president or the political system on “The Daily Show,” comedian Trevor Noah finds time to make the rounds on the stand-up stage. His second performance at Park Theater is set for Saturday night and it’s unlikely he’ll be back in Vegas anytime soon, so catch him while you can. June 23, info at parkmgm.com.

THE LON BRONSON BAND Longtime local band-leading favorite Lon Bronson brings his 14-piece outfit to Myron’s Cabaret Jazz at the Smith Center for the Performing Arts Saturday night to perform soul classics from the likes of Otis Redding, Marvin Gaye, Sam Cooke, Wilson Pickett and more. Plus an amazing bonus: The special guest vocalist is former Tower of Power singer Larry Braggs. June 23, info at thesmithcenter.com.
